Oh boy, I can't wait for my emotes and shader to get here!

This is a good thing. And now all of the people whining about forsaken requiring the previous expansions can’t complain anymore

7 RepliesYeah the writing's on the wall the series is done. Virtually guarantee you there will not be a destiny 3

11 RepliesFor everyone that was forced into the purchase of CoO & Warmind just to play Forsaken, should be given a refund on those items. What an insult to the community.

A business intends to make money? Gtfoh

3 RepliesMay as well make the emote "Grab Ankles"

3 RepliesThat shader is consumable right? Fck that lol

I bought the 2 first DLC's, since Bungie said we need them to play Forsaken. I havent bought Forsaken yet, since i've been playing WoW BFA since release. But now when i have done most things in WoW and thinking about buying Forsaken, it will be included in the price one month after release? F**k you Bungie ^^ You lied and told us that we need to buy them to be able to play Forsaken. I'll wait 1,5 year after Destiny 3 release to make sure that i get the good expansion with all the shitty DLC for the packet price, before i buy the standard version of Destiny 3. But hoepfully former Halo creators game, Scavengers, will be out before then.

6 RepliesEdited by WaterPiglet: 10/12/2018 7:47:09 PMThose who think it's ok for Bungie to do this are the reason why they keep screwing us over. I bought forsaken and not the season pass but I was thinking about it but now they can shove it where the sun doesn't shine and then they can have the biggest -blam!- off t bag I have ever managed to muster. Roll on RDR2 .

19 RepliesEdited by Hun8ryGhost: 10/12/2018 2:11:31 PMI wish we could see the population numbers. Lol. Thirsty Bungie. Can only say we told you so. Even if it was free it’s not worth the time. Forget the money.

5 RepliesEdited by Vindicus: 10/12/2018 6:18:33 PMCool. Glad I was just forced to buy 2 DLCs I didn't give a shit about in order to play Forsaken and now my money buys me a couple of emotes that I also don't give a shit about. How about refund my money instead, and put your emotes up your bungieholes?

37 RepliesEdited by Zero the Remnant: 10/12/2018 7:20:47 AMThey are 100% worried about numbers. This may come as a surprise to many on the forums but while Forsaken DID inject much needed life & new players into Destiny 2 but it didn't sell/isn't selling NEARLY what Bungie wanted it to. It isn't flying off shelves, & its low preorder numbers are matching its sales. Its selling...but not as well as hoped. While I applaud the effort put into Forsaken, Bungie advertised it to the current Destiny 2 player & the Destiny 2 refugee. It did NOT do a good job at advertising to New Players, nor did it do a PR campaign to show how the EXTREMELY damaged brand that is Destiny has been heavy modified. Bottomline is that Destiny as a brand is damaged. It will not be repaired overnight with 1 expansion. Bungie's reputation is damaged & notorious. They are communicating more yes, but it took an entire year & some old habits of Bungie's still remain even now. All this makes people second guess making a purchase. Not to mention that Forsaken's player progression systems are a SERIOUS Black Eye for it. I'm just being blunt, this isn't a Casual vs Hardcore, PVP vs PVE, nor a Raider vs Solo/Small Group remark: Forsaken's Power Progession system in its current state is terrible. Word of Mouth is the BEST advertising in the Gaming Industry. Unfortunately for Forsaken; the current Progression system is notorious & makes already wary players even more unlikely to purchase. The Progression System employed in Rise of Iron should have been the direction Bungie shot for. It was a good balance between Hardcore, Casual, was friendly to Solo players. While many on the forums love to argue about what matters most. This is a serious problem. Many on both sides of the argument say: "We like it the ___ way. If you don't then leave/don't buy it." Well, that is exactly what is happening. Like I broken record I keep saying this: "Destiny 2 base (launch) leaned TOO much to the Casual/Short Term Player side, Destiny 2 Forsaken leans TOO much to the Hardcore/Long Term Player side. The Goal needs to be more in the middle with it leaning slightly more to the Hardcore/Long Term Player side (IE: This was the sweet spot Rise of Iron hit in terms of Player Power Progression.) Don't get me wrong. Forsaken is damn good, but it's progression system, lack of MM, broken MM, loot system, & etc need work & fast. We can't forget: It took 1 entire year to get D2 into a good place. 1 Year of mostly bad PR. Also thanks to the Loot Box drama, and all sorts of Gaming Scandals; gamers have wised up to hype & advertising. So yeah. Forsaken wasn't the magic bullet Bungie was praying for. (It never could have been, these things take time.) Bungie REALLY shot Forsaken in the foot with the Annual Pass & requirement of all previous DLC non-sense during the announcement/reveal of Forsaken. Additionally the fact the All in One edition didn't exist until pre-order numbers failed to hit a specific numbers really didn't win people over. Jeez, rereading what I wrote... Bungie really is struggling to get Destiny 2 right in all aspects... Maybe they really should have pulled an Everquest (Shadows of Luclin) & just had an expansion that massively overhauled the UI, replaced the old Engine with a new Engine (not a barely retooled one), & etc while keeping the old content...but adding lots of new content. Edit: I wanted to elaborate a little. 1. Currently the most frequent word of Mouth over Forsaken is: The Campaign, Gameplay, New Modes, & New Features are dramatic improvements, are fun, and very enjoyable. But after the Campaign the game drags on & leveling post Campaign is slow, not fun or engaging, & too repetitive." Even the reviews touched on this. The current Word of Mouth over Bungie is: "They are finally starting to truly listen & implement changes to the game." Yeah, folks on these forums know Bungie has been working on all the changes Forsaken brought. But Bungie's lack of communication creates an illusion that , where 2. Sales Destiny 2 Forsaken is selling but its slower than anyone thought. I work retail & honestly even I am surprised at how it's selling (I can only speak for my district however). Given the positive reviews. My gut tells me, folks don't trust the reviews anymore due to Destiny 2's launch reviews being positive and well we all saw how that ended. One thing that really helped D2 was it being Free for PlayStation Plus Subscribers in September. But odds are...only about half of those players upgraded to Forsaken. So in truth this Expansion Pass move is actually the 2nd attempt from Bungie to bolster sales & get people to try Forsaken. Which gives the impression that the game isn't in a "good" or "stable" place. It's in a better place than it was in D2 Year 1 on the Brightside.

3 RepliesEdited by OldboyVicious: 10/12/2018 10:48:52 PMI have this pair of Jean's that retailed at $250.00. I wasn't pissed off when Ithe season changed and I bought them for $65.00 on clearance. I still won't be pissed off when people who bought Foresaken for cheap are grinding at 520 light level when I'm 600. In fact, I cant wait to help them run raids, jump into heroic public events, and carry them through heroic blind well completions.

Be nice if those emotes were exclusive, not much of a reward if everyone gets them shortly after - or via loot pool. Be nice if they added those IB emotes and ornaments to the loot pool, probably not, unable to make cash off players if that was the case.
-
Honestly should have had this bundle from the beginning of forsaken, I like it they just poorly implemented it
-
Where have you been? Legendary Collection has been available at $40 on Amazon for over a week already. Still overpriced as you'll be left behind without the overpriced annual pass in 2 months anyway. Give me everything including the annual pass for $30-35 and I'll consider it. Until then I've got plenty of other games to play and my money is going toward a rig that can play Gunheart.

1 ReplyBtw the version I bought came with expansion pass.... doesn't seem like this one new.
-
2 RepliesNo, you don’t get the other two expansions. You just no longer need the other two expansions to play forsaken.

11 RepliesEdited by BADMAGIK: 10/12/2018 9:46:30 PMThe people crying about this are hilarious. Stuff goes on sale all the time in the real world. This is how retail businesses work. You're all dumb. Don't get mad because you got something at full price and then later it goes on sale after a while. It's like bitching about a pair of pants you bought. 6 months later you're back in the same store buying something else and you see the same pants on sale for half off. Grow up. #selfentitledbabies

Fine by me. I got my money’s worth out of it already. Didn’t consider it much money to begin with.

13 RepliesEdited by AMC_07: 10/12/2018 3:22:23 AMAs someone who was holding off on Forsaken due to money, I really enjoy this and will probably get Forsaken! I just don't think these veteran rewards are worth it though for y'all who have already paid. They should grant packs of bright engrams in my opinion. Or $20 worth of silver
-
4 RepliesDoes this mean Forsaken will be cheaper for those who already have the first 2? Or are you just missing out on the bonus stuff if you wait to buy it?

Edited by ELRaSun: 10/13/2018 1:05:36 AMIts cool to bring new players in. I just wish Vet items were better in Destiny as a franchise. They have never been good and are always inconsequential. Shaders, emblems, sparrows. They could have hit a home run by introducing an exclusive armor set. The first and only armor set with full set bonuses. And it’s Like a redone holographic VOG set drops in all vets postmaster on the day Festival drops (since we’re going back to the infinite forest). Boom. New players can start earning gear sets with Black Armory, but never the veteran set. This is how you innovate and excite your player base.
